How to Start SAHI from Jenkins using Ant and execute SAHI scripts in firefox

Hello All,
I am trying to start SAHI from Jenkins using ant script and then execute SAHI scripts in a jboss that is already up. There is a problem that sahi starts and then it pauses after following message.
[exec] Reading browser types from:
\sahi\userdata\config\browser_types.xml
[exec]
This was when I tried to start sahi using bin/sahi.bat. Like shown in sahi documentation, I also tried starting it from lib/sahi.jar using java ant task. SAHI starts using both, but pauses and waits after above message. I also changed path of browsers like mentioned in below post by “Srinivasan_Tyto ”

The second target in my ant scripts is supposed to start after sahi is started. This target is supposed to execute a batch file that triggers testrunner.bat and also has all the parameters to start executing sahi scripts. This target never starts. If I execute this batch file manually, then I can see my sahi scripts getting executed from Jenkins log. This means that, sahi had started but the target from where it’s called is not getting finished.
I am not sure if this gives a clear picture on my problem. These are the questions to which I would like to get answer for.
1. Why is the sahi starting and the target not ending?
2. When I execute the batch file manually, I can see debug values in sahi scripts coming up in Jenkins log. But I don’t see any browser (firefox) coming up. Does this mean, sahi will execute scripts in a headless manner when done so?
For better understanding, I am attaching a screen shot of the Jenkins log.
